What if we had Battle off Samar, but it was a space opera crossover, involved a more competent admiral than Kurita for the IJN side and sick Gundam tech for the USN side?

The complete Supremacy Task Force of the Galactic Empire's First Order is found exiting hyperspace ten light-years beyond the Oort Cloud and is presently establishing a blockade outside Sol, intending to draw out and engage the strongest fleets of the UN Security Council Orbital Defense Administration (UNSC-ODA), particularly Grand Admiral Juzo Okita’s UN Cosmo Force. In response, Admiral Maximilian Jenius has voluntarily deployed twelve Macross Carrier Task Groups to intercept the First Order and break the siege, leaving the inner system dangerously exposed.

Recognizing the opportunity created by the diversion, Grand Admiral Mitth'raw'nuruodo mobilizes his entire Seventh Fleet (Disney canon sources only) to destroy a key component of the UNSC-ODA in a single stroke. Having studied the capabilities and limitations of some of the most powerful mobile suits ever built, along with extensive operational records, command histories, and psychological profiles of their commanders, Thrawn believes he can exploit the coalition's weaknesses before it can fully respond. Standing in his way is the lightly armed but elite Advance Fleet of the Gundam Coalition (GC-AF). Commanded by a joint brain-trust, including Admiral Bright Noa, Rear Admiral Kati Mannequin, General Treize Khushrenada, President Lacus Clyne, Captain Murrue Ramius and Forecaster Sumeragi Lee Noriega, the GC-AF meet Thrawn, his flagship Chimaera and sister ships Dark Omen and Harbinger, between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn for negotiations as per Thrawn’s demands. If these diplomatic talks break down, the coalition shall commence attacking at the first sign of resistance from the Imperial 7th Fleet and execute a holding action to prevent a potential pincer maneuver that entraps Admiral Jenius’ Macross Force. It is a battle that is reminiscent of the Battle off Samar, and the desperate fight waged by a small task group of US Navy ships against a much larger Imperial Japanese fleet.

The UNSC-ODA Gundam Coalition-Advanced Fleet has three operational objectives:

  1. Decapitation: Eliminate Grand Admiral Thrawn and destroy his command ships (Chimaera, Dark Omen, and Harbinger).
  2. Isolation: Sever the Seventh Fleet's communications to prevent intelligence transmission back to Imperial Command.
  3. Devastation: Destroy at least 50% of the enemy fleet to inflict psychological shock and cripple their ability to counterattack.

The GC-AF shall field two carrier task groups (CTGs) of three ships, complemented by six mobile suits per ship, inclusive of the pilots for each unit and all necessary staff. All particle systems (Minovsky Particles, GN Particles, and Mirage Colloid) have been made constructively compatible through molecular stability calculations. The quantum superintelligence Veda is also available to all coalition assets, and safeguarded from any Imperial breaching, while facilitating the creation of technological compatibility layers for perfect interoperability across all units. The six ships shall be complemented by newly-procured GNMA-Y0002V Gadelaza units piloted by Anew Returner, Louise Halevy, and Descartes Shaman, respectively, one for every two ships.

Every member of the Gundam Coalition-Advanced Fleet has been thoroughly briefed on the Empire's doctrine, personnel, and technology. Decades of joint operations through the events of Super Robot Wars and SD Gundam G Generation have forged exceptional interoperability, allowing every participating faction to function as a unified military force. Thrawn, however, has anticipated this coalition. His preparations include exhaustive analysis of coalition combat records, mission reports, command decisions, technical specifications, and the psychological tendencies of its senior leadership and piloting roster. He enters the campaign expecting fierce resistance and has already formulated contingency plans against each of the coalition's personnel.

If you were Grand Admiral Thrawn, how would you tackle the challenge posed by the myriad of previously-unknown technology, mobile suits and ships presented by the UNODA Gundam Coalition-Advanced Fleet? Which specific psychological or tactical weaknesses of the GC-AF personnel will you exploit to crush their resistance?

Conversely, if you were to lead the UNSC-ODA Gundam Coalition-Advance Fleet, how would you design an operational plan to destroy Chimaera, Dark Omen, and Harbinger before turning the remainder of the Seventh Fleet away from Inner Sol? What countermeasures must be undertaken to neutralize Thrawn’s research and tactical acumen? Can the coalition accomplish all objectives while guaranteeing zero allied losses? If not, what is the closest achievable outcome?

Provide detailed strategic and operational analyses for both sides, treating each commander as highly competent and acting with complete knowledge of their own forces. Base all recommendations on established canon feats, doctrines, logistics, command philosophy, and demonstrated battlefield performance rather than narrative convenience. Your answers to all these questions shall help the UNODA-GC-AF succeed in accomplishing all objectives with minimal coalition losses and negligible significant personnel or asset casualties.

Operation Bellerophon shall begin at the moment of first contact with the enemy.

The Supremacy is being hunted by what little the Gundam franchise can offer here. How will this war go? And how noncredible is this battle?

From three light-years beyond the orbit of Neptune, the complete Supremacy Task Force of the First Order (Disney canon) has established a blockade outside Sol. Back on Earth, a coalition of commanders from the wider world of Gundam, who have successfully destroyed Starkiller Base in an earlier incursion attack, have anticipated their arrival, and prepare a preemptive strike to break the siege and reopen the cosmic corridor.
 
Supreme Leader Snoke, through dispatches from General Armitage Hux and under the auspices of Sith Lord Kylo Ren, has publicly expressed intent to destroy the UN Security Council’s Orbital Defense Administration (UNODA) in a single stroke, having researched the conduct, strategies and errors of its personnel and the strength and weaknesses of weapons complements. In response, Admiral Bright Noa, Rear Admiral Kati Mannequin, Rear Flit Asuno, General Treize Khushrenada, President Lacus Clyne, Captain Murrue Ramius and Forecaster Sumeragi Lee Noriega of the newly-formed Coalition Advanced Fleet (CAF) have issued demands of their own: bring in the flagship Supremacy, as well as Resurgent-class Star Destroyers Finalizer and Fellfire, between Jupiter and Saturn for negotiations. Should deescalation talks break down, the coalition shall attack at the first sign of hostile intent from the First Order.

The UNODA Coalition Advanced Fleet sets two main goals:

  1. Kill Supreme Leader Snoke, General Hux, and Kylo Ren and
  2. destroy the Supremacy, Finalizer and Fellfire, all in under 100 hours.

Additionally, the UNODA seeks to be successful in two other objectives:

  1. Render the Supremacy’s task force incapable of transmitting intelligence back to greater Imperial command, and
  2. shock the fleet by decimating over 75% of it in a bid to cripple their ability to quickly retreat and counterattack.

 
The CAF shall field fourteen ships, complemented by six mobile suits per ship, inclusive of the pilots for each unit and all necessary staff. All particle systems (Minovsky particles, GN particles and Mirage Colloid) have been made constructively compatible through molecular stability calculations. The quantum superintelligence Veda is also fully available for all CAF assets, and safeguarded from enemy infiltration, while facilitating the creation of technological compatibility layers for perfect interoperability between units across timelines.

These fourteen ships shall be split into four Carrier Task Groups (CTG):

I. CTG Alpha (codename THEOGONY)
- Admiral Bright Noa (CTG commander) and Ra Cailum
> Captain Otto Mitas (second-in-command) and Nahel Argama> Captain Eyphar Sinapus (ternary command) and Aswan Kai
> Captain Jinn Gehenam (ancillary reinforcement) and Reinforce Junior

II. CTG Bravo (codename ILIAD)
- Captain Murrue Ramius (CTG commander) and Millennium
> Lt. Commander Natarle Badgiruel (second-in-command) and Dominion
> Captain Talia Gladys (ternary command) and Minerva
> Captain Jamil Neate (volunteers) and Freeden II

III*.* CTG Charlie (codename FABULAE)
- Forecaster Sumeragi Lee Noriega (CTG commander) and Ptolemaios II Kai
> Major Graham Aker (forward interdiction) and Artorious
> Captain Natora Einaus & Lt. Colonel Millais Alloy (seconds-in-command) and Diva

IV. CTG Delta (codename AENEID)
- Commander Treize Khushrenada (CTG commander) and Peacemillion
> Captain Berah Ronah (second-in-command) and Mother Vanguard
> Captain Donyell Toss (ternary command) and Megafauna

All personnel have been trained, thoroughly briefed and given dossiers about their enemy. Operating a singular united front honed through decades of crossover combat experience thanks to Super Robot Wars, all factions within the UNODA have achieved ideal cohesion, able to cooperate and collaborate harmoniously under existential pressure. Snoke, Hux and Kylo Ren expect resistance from the UNODA-CAF and have prepared for it with their own intelligence gathering. To wit, the First Order has reviewed mission logs, combat footage, and other operational documentation, as well as surveyed impressions and character writing analysis of the named UNODA-CAF personnel above from Gundam’s audience.

If you were to lead the UNODA Coalition Advanced Fleet, how would you shape the strategies and tactics to destroy the forward force of two Imperial Star Destroyers en route to turning the rest of the fleet away? Does the coalition even stand a chance at all against the might of the Empire’s finest while guaranteeing zero allied losses?

If you were in the shoes of General Hux, how would you tackle the challenge posed by the myriad of mobile suits and ships presented by the UNODA Coalition Advanced Fleet? As Kylo Ren and Supreme Leader Snoke, what weaknesses will be most readily-exploited given the profiles of the listed personnel and materiel?

The answers to both questions above will help guide the UNODA-CAF in ensuring the coalition can adapt and stay ahead of The First Order while ensuring no allies are lost in the process of prosecuting the battle to come

Emperor Palpatine and and the entire Galactic Fleet attack thirteen anime ships. How do you think will he execute?

From three light-years beyond Iscandar's orbit, the entire fleet of the Galactic Empire atb its most powerful (in Disney canon for now) has established a siege blockade to seize the system, having summarily defeated the remaining elements of the Gamilas fleet. Within the system, a coalition of commanders has anticipated their arrival and is more than ready to launch a preemptive strike.

Emperor Sheev Palpatine, known more formally as Darth Sidious, has expressed his intent to destroy the Sovereign Regency of Worlds - Orbital Security Administration (SRW-OSA) in a single stroke, having witnessed the limits of some of the most powerful unaffiliated ships in the galaxy, as well as research on the conduct of its personnel. In response, Admiral Juzo Okita has issued demands of their own: bring in the flagship Eclipse as well as Death Star II between the orbits of Iscandar and Gamilas for negotiations. Should these de-escalation talks break down, it becomes a race on who can fire first.

The SRW-OSA Coalition sets two main goals:

  1. Kill Palpatine, and
  2. destroy the Eclipse in under 300 minutes.

Additionally, the SRW-OSA seeks to be successful in two other objectives:

  1. Render the entire fleet incapable of transmitting intelligence back to greater Imperial command, and
  2. Shock the fleet into a wounded retreat, with a chance to fully eradicate the enemy while being chased away.

The SRW-OSA Coalition shall field thirteen ships, inclusive of all fighter and robot complements and all necessary staff. Before this engagement, all particle systems have been made constructively compatible through molecular stability calculations. Fighter, mobile suit, and additional mechanized complements per are complete. The quantum artificial superintelligence Veda is also fully available for all coalition assets, and safeguarded from any Imperial encroachment.

  1. Captain Misato Katsuragi and AAA Wunder (Rebuild of Evangelion)
  2. Admiral Juzo Okita and BBY-01 Yamato (Space Battleship Yamato 2199)
  3. Captain Bes Jordan and the Solo Ship (Space Runaway Ideon)
  4. Captain Ruri Hoshino and NS-966C Nadesico-C (Martian Successor Nadesico)
  5. Captain Harlock and Arcadia (Arcadia of My Youth)
  6. Captain Mitsuba Greyvalley and Dreisstreger (Super Robot Wars)
  7. Captain Maximilina Jenius and Battle Seven (Macross 7)
  8. Captain Jeffery Wilder and Macross Quarter (Macross Frontier)
  9. Captain Ernest Johnson and Macross Elysion (Macross Delta)
  10. Captain Murrue Ramius and LHM-BB03S Millennium (CE Gundam SEED)
  11. Forecaster Sumeragi Lee Noriega and CBS-742 Ptolemaios 2 Kai (AD Gundam 00)
  12. Captain Otto Mitas and SCVA-76 Nahel Argama (as of UC Gundam Unicorn)
  13. Rear Admiral Bright Noa and Ra Cailum (as of UC Char's Counterattack)

All coalition personnel have been given dossiers about their enemy. Palpatine expects extreme resistance and has thoroughly prepared for the coalition.

If you were in the shoes of Palpatine, how will you deploy your forces to guarantee total eradication of the defending fleet? What weaknesses among their ranks will you exploit, given knowledge of their story?

If you were to lead the task force, how would you shape the strategies and tactics to destroy the forward force of flagship en route to turning the rest of the fleet away? Does the coalition even stand a chance at all against the might of the Empire’s fullest power?

Quick challenge: Porter-alike music in repositories like NCS, EpidemicSound and others

Straightforward enough, I hope: drop as many tracks as you can that are Spitfire-y, Worlds-y, Nurture-y, Virtual Self-y or SMILE-y from the wide world of YouTube-friendly no-copyright music repositories. NO AI-GENERATED MUSIC, of course, but do link stuff that you've found to be hella hella cool and is somehow usable on YouTube without rent-seeking corporate systems deciding they own the video now.

But if there already is a database or megalist for royalty-free music that has big Porter energy or future bass in general, that would be excellent.

What would a Def Jam: FlipTop roster look like if we were to make it?

For those who remember Def Jam, una: grabe ang tanda na natin. Pangalawa: medyo na-curious ako about how something like Def Jam would look but using FlipTop and the greater Pinoy hip-hop scene, mixed with homegrown martial arts icons and practitioners.

Sinu-sino ang pasok, sino ang hindi, and anong system ang gagamitin? 3D-style ba parang Tekken/Dead or Alive or 2D parang Street Fighter, or yung mismong katulad ng Def Jam? Aling pang gameplay ideas ang meron kayo?

Found this while MUGEN-diving one day. Precisely which game had that particular version of the Raging Demon?

2026 being the year of Filipino representation in big-name fighting games was NOT on my bingo card but I love it

Virtua Fighter Crossroads' Vilasapara is the spitting image of Binondo, Manila. And other places in the nation's capital. Meanwhile, Street Fighter has Yasmine, who so far is looking much more fleshed-out and true-to-life than Josie ever was.

I wasn't expecting much out of Summer Game Fest this year but somehow Geoff had some treats in store for an entire country. Not something you see everyday.
